I must attend a suffragette meeting in Rough-house Hall." Then she leaves. Herman gets a hurry call from his pasteboard pals and answers, "All right, Joe, save a stack of chips for me. I'll be right over," and adds to himself, "I might win enough to buy the little boob something nice like a bottle of medicine." At the suffrage meeting friend wife argues that "the only thing we will allow the men to keep for themselves is the right to shave." Herman, a loser at the greatest indoor sport, is about to end it all and delivers himself thus, a la Goldberg: "Little Sylvester can keep from starving by selling the flowers the members of the lodge place on my grave." At home, little Sylvester, who has been deposited in the wastepaper basket, wherein he finds a bottle of hair tonic. Thus Goldberg: "The hair tonic, with the help of old age, causes Sylvester to look like a dish of spinach." Sylvester's hair grows so rapidly that it becomes cramped for space in the room and trails out of the window, piling itself up in the form of a haystack, and a passing farmer with an eye to business sticks his pitchfork into it, and unwittingly, takes up hair, Sylvester, and everything else attached.
